Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Losers is a 1970 American action war movie.It's The Vietnam War, and America is in the midst of the bloodshed. During a diplomatic mission to Cambodia, an agent is captured by the Chinese Army stationed there. Due to the agent being held on neutral territory the military can't enter, the US government hires an outlaw biker gang to rescue the agent. Placing machine guns, grenade launchers and armor on their choppers, the bikers ride into 'Nam to wreck the place.Not to be confused with the comic, the film based on it the comic, or Nam Angels, an unrelated film with a similar premise (though it should be noted that The Losers has also been released as Nam's Angels, note the apostrophe).

Downer Ending: Due to faulty intelligence, the biker gang ends up attacking a diplomatic mission to get China out of Cambodia. The military has to launch a desperate rescue attempt, and the entire biker gang gets killed in the process. The Sole Survivor is the Jerkass diplomat, who has a diplomatic mess to clean up when he gets home.

Action Prologue: The Viet Cong attacking the transport the Devil's Advocates are in. Oddly enough for the genre, our heroes don't actually help fend off the attack, due to them not having weapons yet.

Dirty Communists: The main antagonists are soldiers of Red China, who have kidnapped an American diplomat. This turns out to be based on faulty intel. They're actually military officials negotiating China leaving Cambodia, and the diplomat is there willingly. The bikers end up bungling the whole operation by attacking.
